Donald Trump claims most people cannot spell ‘dumb’

Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed that the majority of people do not know that the word ‘dumb’ ends with the letter ‘B’. This assertion has been made across various platforms, including remarks to Republican lawmakers at the White House, during the White House Correspondents' Dinner, and in interviews with the New York Post and Fox News.

Trump has used this premise to label Democrats as ‘Dumocrats’. While critics note that literacy levels vary, the claim that most people are unaware of the spelling of a common four-letter word is viewed by analysts as an illogical narrative.
